Charter Proposal For XHTML-Print
Abstract
This project will specify a simple XHTML based data stream suitable for
printing as well
as display. It is expected to be largely based on the W3C’s XHTML Basic
with the
addition of cascading style sheets (CSS). Its targeted usage will be for
printing in
environments with lightweight and other simple clients that do not have the
ability to
install a printer specific driver.
XHTML-Print will be designed to be implementable in low-cost printers that
may not
have a full-page buffer and that generally print from top-to-bottom,
left-to-right with the
paper in a portrait orientation. For other printers (i.e. those that print
in another direction
or orientation) a full-page buffer may be required.
XHTML-Print should not be used when strict layout consistency and
repeatability are
required. The design goal of XHTML-Print is to provide a relatively simple,
broadly
supportable print datastream where content preservation and reproduction are
the goal,
i.e. “Content is King.” More traditional printer datastreams such as
PostScript or PCL
are more suitable when strict layout control is required.
This project will also create a set of conformance criteria for XHTML-Print.
